Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management

 

This programme has been devised on the basis that students will attend a course of study not less than 120 credits. It is articulated to an MBA so therefore entry requirements will cover both courses.

 

Objectives:

This course is designed to give students a good understanding of the responsibilities of a manager and the techniques they will use to deal with different situations as well as the legal requirements within their role.

Entry Requirements

  • A UK or equivalent second class if fresh graduate or degree plus 2 years middle management experience.  Anyone without a degree must have 4 - 5 years management experience. These entry qualifications will also cover the MBA progression. A normal three year degree will be required for progression to MA in Management.
  • English language must normally be IELTS 5.5 or provided the medium of instructions at the Degree level was English.

Assessment

  • Total Credit for the course is 120 and it has 1200 learning hours.
  • The students will receive two overall marks one for the unit exam/coursework and another for the Research project.
  • Students will have to pass both sections.
  • For the Unit/exam/course work section the marks will be divided up as follows -
  • 30% For the final exam - This will be based on a case study with six questions covering all units. (Marked based on 100% and weighted down to 30%)
  • 70% for the six (four core and two optional) unit exams/coursework/ discussion reports (Marked based on 100% then weighted down to 11.6% per unit)
  • Each question will have equal marks therefore students who have not passed a particular unit exam/coursework etc can make up their marks on the final examination.
  • 50% is the pass mark for all units.
  • The Research Project will be marked separately and students need to achieve 50% pass mark.
